does this make drafting a DT or DE a little easier to deal with since he has a good track record for making a defense exceptional?

or do we try and fix the most obvious weakness on the team and get the offense back on track?

i wonder if any part of his negotiations would involve him getting to draft his guy with the 1st pick (even if we get to trade down a few spots).

thoughts?

Jerry said it - they need to score more points and generate more excitement. I hope he wasn't thinking defensive scores. lol

True. somehow i get the feeling that JR will be looking over everyone's shoulder during this draft. i doubt anything crazy happens without his blessing this year.

that being said, i am still interested in who they may be able to trade down with and still get a good value in the first rd. the only guy i think they take at #1 would be Green or Fairley.

Instant success plan for Rivera.

Step 1. Hire Josh McDaniels as your Offensive Coordinator

Step 2. Sign Deangelo Williams, Thomas Davis, and Charles Johnson

Step 3. Sign Kyle Orton

Step 4. Sign best available free agent offensive guard

Step 4a. If guard is not the play, make an offer at Aso. He, Gamble, and Munnerlyn would be a great Defensive backfield. I think you will see Rivera get more out of Martin and Godfrey next year as well.

Step 5. Draft best available Defensive player (Fairley, Dareus, Prince, Peterson....I trust Rivera to get a player that he can be successful with)

Day 1 starter at QB: Kyle Orton

Day 1 starter at WR's: Smith, Lafell (Gettis, Edwards, and cheap vet)

Day 1 starter at RB: Deangelo Williams, Stewart backing him up

O-Line Starters: Otah, FA, Kalil, Wharton, Gross

D-Line Starters: C. Johnson, N. Fairley(Vet), Landri, Hardy

LB Starters: Davis, Beason, ???? (I don't think we will match what Anderson will want)

DB Starters: Gamble, Godfrey, Martin, Munnerlyn (possibly Aso)

Nickle Back: Munnerlyn or (Peterson, Prince)

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
